"How could someone look exactly like me."

Ye Qiu stared at the photo he held, in which a handsome man dressed in a racer's suit stood beside a white F1 car, and he was filled with shock.

Though on closer inspection, there were some differences, and of course, Ye Qiu thought he was much more handsome than this man.

Hehe, men always think they are the most handsome.

Yet, he still felt a bit surprised in his heart.

"It's unbelievable that there's someone who looks so much like me, just now even I almost didn't recognize myself."

Ye Qiu touched his face, put down the photo frame, and then looked towards the kitchen, listening to the sounds of Xu Lei cooking, and glanced back at the frame. He seemed to understand a bit why Xu Lei had such indescribable feelings towards him.

"Seems like Teacher Xu sees me as her boyfriend?"

He thought of how Xu Lei mentioned her boyfriend had died in a race, and she still kept his photos for such a long time. She must have had a very good relationship with him.

Ye Qiu, with a Level 5 intellect, understood instantly. Although without Xu Lei's confirmation, Ye Qiu figured he wasn't far off.

With this thought, Ye Qiu shook his head helplessly.

...

Xu Lei was quick with her cooking, and in a flash, she had prepared three fragrant dishes.

There was a tomato and egg stir-fry, bright in color, delicious in taste, that just looking at made Ye Qiu feel hungry.

There was also a spring onion mixed with tofu dish, with the onions sliced perfectly, mixed with tofu and seasonings, making Ye Qiu involuntarily swallow his saliva.

This was a dish most loved by northerners in H City.

Another dish was stir-fried beef, with celery and carrots stir-fried with the beef.

Seeing the aromatic stir-fried beef, Ye Qiu even suspected that Teacher Xu Lei once worked as a chef.

Not only was it colorful, but even before putting it in his mouth, the smell at his nose made Ye Qiu's appetite grow.

"Here comes the last dish, Sichuan eggplant,"

Xu Lei brought a steaming plate of Sichuan eggplant to the table, then looked at the already eager and swallowing Ye Qiu, and with a soft smile said, "Have a seat first, but no sneaking bites."

"Oh."

Ye Qiu sat down, looking at this table of what was originally homemade dishes, yet Xu Lei had made them with a chef's finesse. He couldn't help but admire Xu Lei secretly, thinking, "If someone marries Teacher Xu, that man will surely be very fortunate in the future."

"Here it comes."

As he was thinking, Xu Lei came over to the table with two wine glasses and a large bottle of red wine, placing the glasses in front of herself and Ye Qiu, and then pouring them each a glass of wine.

Ye Qiu was somewhat stunned. As Xu Lei was pouring him a drink, he grasped her smooth wrist, saw her look, withdrew his hand with an awkward smile, but immediately looked at the wine glass in front of him, saying, "Teacher, aren't we supposed to review? If we drink..."

"It's okay to drink, unless you get drunk after one glass? I'm not going to get drunk, if you can't handle it, then don't drink."

Xu Lei said with a gentle smile.

No man would admit defeat in front of a woman, so hearing Xu Lei's words, Ye Qiu frowned, smiled, shook his head, and said firmly, "Teacher must be joking, how could one glass get me drunk, it's quite a joke."

Saying this, Ye Qiu picked up the wine glass in front of him and knocked it back in one gulp.

"Ah, this wine's aftertaste..."

Xu Lei wanted to dissuade him, but Ye Qiu had already drunk it down.

"Refreshing,"

Having gulped the wine down, Ye Qiu found it sweet and really astringent, a complete departure from the spicy taste when he used to drink with Ye Xiong.

"Hmm, this red wine doesn't seem spicy at all, let's just treat it as a beverage,"

Ye Qiu thought, frowning, then picked up the red wine bottle in front of him, refilled his glass, raised it high, and said to the astonished Xu Lei, "Teacher Xu, thank you for your concern, here's a glass to you."

"Uh."

Xu Lei looked at Ye Qiu, wanting to say something, but finally said nothing, instead giving a soft smile, clinking glasses with Ye Qiu, and then drinking.

Ye Qiu chugged it down again, feeling immensely refreshed, and then filled another glass, thinking secretly, "This red wine tastes really good, so sweet!"

"Slow down a bit,"

Xu Lei watched Ye Qiu gulp it down again, somewhat anxious, but Ye Qiu waved her off. Xu Lei, helpless, could only pass him some dishes, "Eat some food, see if you like the dishes I made."

Having drunk two large glasses of wine, Ye Qiu was starving, and as he took a bite of Xu Lei's cooking, he immediately gave a thumbs-up.

With his eyes shining, he looked at Xu Lei, who was eagerly watching, and praised, "Teacher Xu, could it be that you used to be a chef?"

Xu Lei laughed, "Of course not."

"Then why is your cooking so good? I think even professional chefs can't do better than you,"

Ye Qiu said.

Xu Lei chuckled and said, "Hehe, it's all practice from when I used to bring meals for my boyfriend."

At this, Xu Lei's expression darkened, and Ye Qiu, who was looking down at his meal, paused, raising his head to see the somber, now drinking alone Xu Lei, and said apologetically, "Sorry about that, Teacher Xu Lei."

Xu Lei drank a glass of red wine, her fair neck moved twice as she swallowed it down, then shook her head at Ye Qiu, "It's okay, it's all in the past."

Saying nothing more, she smiled at Ye Qiu and said, "Aren't you pouring the teacher some wine?"

"Okay."

Ye Qiu picked up the wine bottle and poured some for Xu Lei. After filling her glass, Ye Qiu said, "Teacher Xu, may I ask you a question?"

Xu Lei replied, "Sure."

Ye Qiu thought for a while, then pointed at the photo, saying, "Teacher Xu, is that your boyfriend?"

Xu Lei paused, following Ye Qiu's finger towards the photo, a tearful glimmer flashing in her beautiful eyes, which she quickly concealed, nodding to Ye Qiu, "Yes."

She then added, "He looks a lot like you."

"Indeed."

Ye Qiu nodded, not knowing what to say, and Xu Lei, staring at the photo, was also at a loss for words.

After a long silence, Xu Lei raised her glass to Ye Qiu and said, "Come, have another drink with the teacher."

"Sure."

Ye Qiu also raised his glass and clinked it with hers, downing it in one go.

After drinking, he watched Xu Lei, tilting her head back to drink as well.

Her fair and slender neck, like a white swan, with a pink sleeveless blouse, tightly wrapped her perfect figure, the full curves at her chest prominently rising, exuding a tempting allure as Xu Lei tilted her head back.

Gulp.

Ye Qiu found himself staring at Xu Lei, somewhat entranced, and upon realizing he was staring, Xu Lei blushed, her neck turning red.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu felt something touch his foot, looked down, and found Xu Lei's small foot, painted with pink nail polish, stepping on his.

And on those small feet, the pair of smooth, slender legs without an ounce of excess, exuded an inviting allure between his legs.

Unable to resist for a moment, Ye Qiu reached a hand towards those fair, long legs.
